Here are some visual aids
Single Shock Front http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_0431.jpg Swingarm Rear Notice the Bottom Bars are "X" together http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_1399.jpg Another swingarm http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/DSCF0012.jpg This is a swingarm but also has a anitroll on it, which IMO is useless on a dual shock swingarm. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...387b/4link.jpg |
If you have questions about chassis, check out the add on RJ #1396988 give him a call.

Good question. There are guys on here alot more knowledgeable than me. Your answer will probably be here soon. Good luck with the car! Well kod99 if you decide on a front engine dragster you might as well get a 1914 steam engine pickup and a wooden trailer to pull it with. That way everything you have will be from the same point in time. Racing is evolving, change is not always bad. Don't get caught up in a time warp. HaHa!! :lol: |

All good info. The hardtail car does have suspension and it is all adjusted by the PSI in the rear tires :lol:
Hammtime is a dual shock swingarm guy. I like the mono shock swingarm. I do like a car that is front and rear suspended as well. IMO based on my experiences, I would not go back to a hardtail/slipjoint car and would reluctantly go back to a 4-link car. It has been and will be swingarm for me. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/100_3965.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/100_2320.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/100_1574.jpg |

HaHa!! :lol: I'm sure you caught some crap about racing a truck before. BTW congrats on leading the points. The reasons I bought an altered are 1. I've always liked them. 2. I wanted a car I could load, unload, and race by myself. 3. I love the nostalgia races. Such as http://www.nostalgiaprocomp.com/ 4. They don't need much of an engine to go fast. |
To you the truth the spectators like nostalgia cars better. You ought to see the fans go crazy when a nostalgia car outruns one our hard hitting dragsters. I do think it takes an experienced racer to make a older style car competitive on the upper level though. Thats the only reason I'd push a newbe to a suspended dragster. Lord knows we need different kinds of cars racing to make this dragracing thing work. :D :D

HaHa!! :lol: So is a reciprocating internal combustion engine, aint that what you're running? Yep!! But days of racing a flathead motor and a Rodchester carbs are gone. :cry: :cry: |
Not true, they still race them around here......Just not at the UPPER LEVEL. :) :)
